I blocked the update with wushowhide, but when I restarted my computer, it came back and reinitialized the update.

On what version of windows? I'm on 1803 and it hasn't come back since after using wushowhide.

Windows 10 Pro (x64) 1803-17134.320. However I just got an 0xc1900130 error message when the WU installation completed.

I've just installed the 1809 on my laptop. Now any Windows Store apps and Edge can't connect to the Internet (Chrome, Firefox and any old-school Applications can without issues, however). Not sure how to fix it. Another big mess from MS. Also, Automatic Driver Updates can't be disabled (at least the old way) anymore. Even DDU doesn't seem to be able to disable them successfully and Windows installs some ancient video card drivers every time.

Yes, there is a major issue with 1809. UWP engine have broken networking. Judging by Insider forums it's been there since few months already, but was totally ignored by Microsoft. What's the point of all Insider program?

I think I won't rush now. I installed it but then returned back to rs4, is that event log error fixed or still numerous warnings every min? Something about user profile and dcom conflicts..

So you didn't install any security updates since then? This major update postponing will create nothing but an issue a year later. Why the hell this options even exists, install update or not. So you got update hanging on your OS, eating space and god know when will it decide to upgrade. OS designed for mobiles I guess. It's like driving a half fixed car and deciding to finally fix it a year later. Disaster.

That's not how it works. You can sit on old windows for very long time. Never enable windows update. Then you download iso which skips few releases. Does not really matter as long as ISO contains newer version of windows. Mount directly via windows => Run setup => Update and Keep my data. It switches windows binary completely and old ones are in windows.old directory. This kind of update has no issues as it does not care about any files you have, no dependencies as everything is exchanged. It is practically clean installation which kept all your custom applications, user data, registry...

So if I were to set Windows updates to "off" in the settings, isn't that really just a placebo slider that does nothing? Windows seems to reset settings quite a bit with 10 (my biggest gripe). The Windows updates are bigger threats to me than not being "up to date" on security flaws.

I guess: blackbird -u = Enable/Disable auto-installation of Windows updates / Sets to manual download and install only. Then maybe metered connection settings.

https://i.imgur.com/17fbpVJm.png I don't know how to describe the feeling, but logging into 1809 for the first time felt wrong. Edge was literally showed down my throat. Also Windows Update still pushes AMD 17.1.1 which seems kind of weird. However now that it's done, time to customize the sheathz out of my system and install a few games. My installation took ~12 minutes from boot (3 restarts) to completion installing from USB to M.2 with 7600K @ 4.7GHz.

If you actually install this at this stage, you deserve what happens.

I feel like bricking my system, so I'm manually updating to it since my regular Windows update is stuck in "Fuck you I'm installing broken drivers to break your sound card no matter what you set, and some Razer drivers for some reason even though you currently have no Razer devices connected" mode. That's an interesting mode, Microsoft. I'll let you guys know the list of things which break if my system can still boot. Edit: Jesus Christ this update is taking forever. It feels like it's been half an hour and it's only going at about 1% per 10 minutes, that's on an SSD using a 4.2GHz 4770K. Don't bother update to this unless you're leaving it overnight or something.
